The House voted 411-15 to approve the Commerce-Justice-State (CJS) appropriations bill, a 2002 spending package that includes funding for programs to fight cyber-crime, child pornography, and intellectual property theft. The package also includes money for technology research programs. The bill directs U.S. attorneys to provide a total of $10 million for cyber-crime and enforcement against intellectual property violations, such as software piracy. It also includes a dramatic boost in funding for the Commerce Department's Advanced Technology Program, which provides support for moving experimental technologies from the laboratory into the marketplace. The Bush administration had promised to cease funding for the $200 million program, but the conference CJS bill includes $184.5 million for the ATP, rather than the $13 million as proposed in the House bill and $204.2 million as proposed in the Senate bill. In fact, the program will enjoy even more funding than last year, due to a carryover of $33 million from fiscal year 2000 that brings the total available funding for ATP to $218 million for 2002. The CJS bill provides roughly $55 million to fund several Justice Department programs at their current funding levels, including $1.5 million for the Center for Rural Law Enforcement Technology, which includes funding for facial recognition devices and DNA research. The conference agreement adopts House language and funding levels for several Justice programs, including $9.2 million worth of computer equipment, forensic research and an instant background check system for the White Collar Crime Information Center. The bill also earmarks $6.5 million for the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a Justice Department program designed to beef up law enforcement investigations into child pornography. It also includes $22.9 million for the Missing Children Program, $2.3 million of which will fund the CyberTipline and Exploited Child Unit. The CJS conference report must be approved by the Senate before heading to the White House for the president's signature. ------------------------ Yahoo!
